Camera batteries are fresh, Kodak SD card has space. Camera will turn-on and lens extends, but the camera will not fire. The LCD screen is a bizzare back, gray,and white looks like a black butterfly over gray bars and stripes. The viewfinder is functioning properly.

I had purchased the LCD and replaced it. Still nothing black screen, any other suggestions? I am thing about taking the camera completely apart ( filming it, so I can always look back if I forget a step ) and checking all wires, also noticed something that looks like a small battery on the white back plate after removing the LCD screen could this be part of the problem? Thanks to anyone in advance!

Okay, so my camera is rather old, maybe 3 years. Its a Kodak EasyShareC433. And when I change the battery, and turn it on to AUTO there is just a black screen with a few shuttered white stripes. It looks like a broken window. And when I turn it on to any other menus, nothing happens. Is there a way I can fix it or is it permanently dead?

I have the same issue. Reading the responses on this site, I gather that it is because of faulty batteries. I have been adviced by the GURU to use Panasonic or Sony chargable Batteries. If that does not work - call Kodak customer service. ...

White Screen:
I turned on my camera shortly after replacing the batteries, but when I looked at my screen, it was completely white. I turned it off, then turned it on again, and the same thing happened. Later, I tried to see if it'll work after I connected it to my computer, but the screen was still white. The camera has been dropped a couple of times, but it wasn't anything severe - just a couple of centimeters from the ground, and I'm pretty sure the screen isn't cracked (I didn't see an

Camera repair The LCD display is white with red lines going through it. Even the viewfinder does the same thing -- white. When I hit the view button, the same thing sometimes. It seems to do worse outside. You can faintly see the pictures I took in the LCD display. Now the LCD display is totally black. What's wrong. The menu display still works. What can I do?

Time for a new Camera. It is about 150.00 to replace the LCD. it is cheaper to replace it unless you can just use the viewfinder alone!! ...

I purchased a d80 recently and took about 2,000 shots at an outdoor music festival
virtually 90% of them came out with poor image quality, i was shooting in "fine" mode and alternated my settings primarily from portrait, auto, P, settings- example i was taking a picture of a trombone player wearing a white shirt and black pants, when you look at the black, it looks like scatter multicolored pixels, like an image taken with a 2 megapixel camera from 500ft away and then enlarged. I was taking the

Black LCD When I took pictures yesterday, each picture looked like it had a white fuzzy covering over it. Now when I turn the camera on the lcd stays black. But when I switch the button from camera to video it works. I also can get the previously taken pictures to show up.
I have charged and changed a couple of pairs of batteries.

As Philipp mentions, sounds like a defective CCD imager. Canon should fix this for free, including free shipping both ways. For others experiencing this problem, please check the following two links for more info:\015\012http://camerarepair.blo ...

Just recently its gone all weird, when i turn the camera on, the screen can go all pink and green (all lines through the screen) i guess sort of like when a tv has no aerial but its black and white on a tv?

You are closer with number 2. It is likely that your camera has a faulty CCD. To replace it would be well over 100$, A good camera, (I have one). Nothing wrong with the Fuji line of small digitals. I would recommend staying with them. They make ...

Kodak V803 I think this is due to the camera being dropped: The camera switches on but all that appears on the viewscreen is a white light accompanied by black patches of distortion. The distortion suggests that the camera has suffered an impact as it has the appearance of a smashed window - with lines of distortion running across the screen. The view screen itself - is in tact - no evidence of impact - cracks or dents. I cannot get rid of this screen distortion no matter what button I press. Wh

White screen My camera (olympus Fe-46) seems fine when I turn it on, but when I make a picture outside, the screen turns white instead of showing the picture. When trying to make a picture in my room, it showed the picture with horizontal black stripes on it.
Has anybody got a suggestion/solution for this problem?

This is a problem with shutter not fast enough opening to take a picture indoor shows the horizontal lines. In sun light it is too slow and over expose the picture. Not worth the trouble to fix, buy another camera? ...

When I turn my camera on I only see a dark blue and black image with white lines running through it--could I have damaged something or have I messed up my settings? I can look at previous pictures taken, they look fine, I just can't figure out why I can't see anything through the view finder or LCD monitor in order to take new pics. i have been reading through the manual, tried new batteries (regular AA)--any suggestions?

Green pictures I dropped my f20 and now everything on the view screen is green. It takes pictures, but they are all black when I view them. Anyway to save this camera? I checked with a shop, but it will be more to look at it than I paid for the thing new. Help! I love the camera.

Flash problem So, I set the camera to 'Flash On'. I take a picture and the flash goes off for about a quick second. I look at the picture and it's nothing but a black background, sometimes white where I can only slightly see the object I took the picture of. What's wrong with my camera? This only happens sometimes, by the way. Sometimes I take a picture and everything's normal.

The CCD element has been a great problem in this camera along with a faulty iris in the lens. I would return the camera to the Sony facility in Laredo, TX and let them know the exact symptom you are having. I see many of these cameras being repaired ...

I have a Canon SD500 Powershot Elph camera that is about 2 years old. Recently on vacation the LCD screen stopped working properly. The screen is white with an asymmetrical black configuration on it. It's sort of like a piece of an umbrella--pointed edges and lines running through it. The camera will still turn on and off but nothing is available on the screen. Even though I paid $350 for it, I'm ready to just ditch it as Canon wants over $100 just to look at it.

Sanyo digital camera vpc-s650: when camera is turned "on", lcd screen shows "green sunburst" over white background on top half and verticle black and light stripes from lower left to sunburst on lower right. No controls will change screen.

When I take any picture the immediate result on the LCD looks great but when I play it back it's full of white stripes. I had the camera for 3 years and the problem suddenly appeared. BTW in movie mode there is no playback issue

When I turn my 550 PowerShot on, I get a blank screen (black for the most part with white camera symbology around the screen, such as the flash symbol, etc). The screen works, as I can click a picture and see the photo momentarily. I can also view my saved pics. When I select the film mode, the screen looks normal.......meaning it displays a color image of what is in the lens. Have I inadvertently selected a mode which is causing this phenomenon?

Think that you might have accidentally pressed the DISP or DISPLAY button on the back of your camera. This manually turns the LCD display on and off to save batteries. You would then use the optical viewfinder in its place. To turn the screen back on ...
